These miniature pear tarts are like the dessert equivalent of a Mini Cooper* — adorably cute and sophisticated, all in one elegant package! Plus, they are a perfect dessert for people on a healing diet like AIP or SCD, not only because they meet all the requirements for compliance, but because they offer built-in portion […]
Bone broth. I recently realized that it is no longer accurate to say that bone broth is “having a moment.” Of course, that has always been true! The idea of making a long-simmered broth or stock from bones and other scraps and then using it as both a culinary ingredient and health-promoting tool as been […]
I usually just prepare romanesco like I would ordinary broccoli, but cutting it before cooking it means that I’m the only one who gets to truly appreciate its other-worldly beauty. This recipe for braised romanesco with a sweet, salty, and savory mixture of onions, olives, and raisins is my solution! Bring it to the table […]
These updated chicken cabbage rolls share only two things in common with the cabbage roll made by the descendents of Eastern European immigrants and popular on potluck tables of my childhood. The cabbage. And the roll. Everything else is completely unrecognizable… and that’s a good thing! A favorite dish for some, but I was never […]

It makes a refreshing and nutrient-packed accompaniment to barbecued meats and other […]
Comfort food, plain and simple. This variation on chicken and dumplings is an AIP-friendly version of a dish that I grew up eating throughout my childhood in Wisconsin, especially during the busy school year. It was usually made from scratch, always with homemade dumplings and usually a creamy dairy-based sauce, though sometimes a can of […]
Your search for delicious and easy gluten-free and AIP crackers ends here! These garlic herb crackers are the real deal… crisp and crunchy with a hint of olive oil flavor on top of the rosemary and thyme that gives them plenty of interesting taste. I created them to be a vehicle for my favorite liver […]
It’s zucchini season in my part of the world and I’ve discovered that the very best way to enjoy it is fresh and with as little alteration as possible.
